Career Preview
This document covers how the bi-annual Career Preview is handled from the perspective of a manger. For the employee preparation, please see Career Preview / Performance Review - Information for Employees
| Tip |
|---|
If annual reviews are the only time when feedback is given, that's a problem. But it's certainly better than nothing. -John Allain |
9Y Approach
Still, the performance review / career preview is important. For us, we want to follow this principle:
| Tip |

Connect a person's past – gaining a detailed understanding of who they are and what motivates them at work through their life story – with their future – the wildest dreams they have for themselves at the pinnacle of their career. |
360° degree feedback from colleagues is collected by the employee. See https://9y-media.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/9RPBK/pages/2203156500#Appendix/2203156500/Career+Preview+-+Information+for+Employees#Appendix-A---360%C2%B0-Questionnaire
